NEW AFRIKAN CREED (PGNRA)

1. i believe in the spirituality, humanity and genius of Black People, and in Our new pursuit of these values.
2. i believe in the family and the community, and in the community as a family, and i will work to make this concept live.
3. i believe in the community as more important than the individual.
4. i believe in constant struggle for freedom, to end oppression and build a better world. i believe in collective struggle: n fashioning victory in concert with my Brothers and Sisters.
5. i believe that the fundamental reason Our oppression continues is that We, as people, must take the power to control Our lives.
6. i believe that the fundamental way to gain that power, and end oppression, is to build a sovereign nation.
7. i believe that all the land in America, upon which We have lived for a long time, which

We have worked and build upon, and which We have fought to stay on, is land that belongs to the people.
8. i believe in the Malcolm X Doctrine: that We must organize upon this land, and vote to make a difference.
9. Therefore, i pledge to struggle without cease, until We have won sovereignty. I pledge to struggle without fail until

We have built a better condition than man has yet known.
10. i will give my life, if that is necessary. I will give my time, my mind, my strength and my wealth because this IS necessary.
11. i will follow my chosen leaders and help them.
12. i will love my Brothers and Sisters as myself.
13. i will steal nothing from a Brother or Sister, cheat no Brother or Sister, misuse no Brother or Sister, inform on no Brother or Sister and spread no gossip.
14. i will keep myself clean in body, dress and speech, knowing that i am a light set on a hill, a true representative of what We are building.
15. i will be patient and uplifting with the deaf, dumb and blind, and i will seek by word and deed to heal the Black family, to bring into the Movement and into the Community mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters left by the wayside.

Now, freely and of my own will, i pledge this creed, for the sake of freedom for my people and a better world,

on pain of disgrace and banishment if i prove false. For, i am no longer deaf, dumb or blind.
